133603 BoyScouts IYOS 2020.indd 2 2/17/20 2:31 PM Dear Scout Leader,

Thank you for the important leadership you provide to the youth of the Mid-America Council, Boy Scouts of America. Your efforts have a positive impact on the youth of our community, and your support is greatly appreciated.

Our outstanding program takes place in every corner of the Council and we provide support to all programs from the unit meetings to council camps. There are countless activities taking place all year long. Approximately 87% of our council’s operating budget is spent on program. We are incredibly fortunate to Chris Mehaffey offer opportunities that youth in other parts of the country can't Scout Executive experience, but the current model is not sustainable. Unlike the national organization to which we all pay dues when we register, our council is entirely dependent on revenue from donations, product sales, and camping fees to fund our annual operating budget.

For years, the Mid-America Council has actively sought ways to avoid charging additional fees that stay local, the kind you normally pay for in little league and other extracurricular activities. Starting with rechartering in 2021, we are changing the way we do business. With this change, future Scouts in the Brad von Gillern Council Chairman Mid-America Council will be able to enjoy the Scouting opportunities we offer to over 15,000 youth throughout the council today.

Please take the time to read through this guide to understand the changes to the popcorn sales commission in 2020 and a program support fee in 2021.

We ask for your support and that you embrace this new change and help be part of the solution to delivering great Scouting programs as we move forward into 2020. Steve Lanni Council Commissioner Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Scouting!

Yours in Scouting,

Chris, Brad & Steve

133603 BoyScouts IYOS 2020.indd 5 2/17/20 2:31 PM 2021 Program support fee

Approximately 87% of our council’s operating budget is spent on program. We are incredibly fortunate to offer opportunities that youth in other parts of the country can’t experience, but the current model is not sustainable. Unlike the national organization to which we all pay dues when we register, our council is entirely dependent on revenue from donations, product sales, and camping fees to fund our annual operating budget.

For years, the Mid-America Council has actively sought ways to avoid charging additional fees that stay local, the kind you normally pay for in little league and other extracurricular activities. Starting with rechartering in 2021, we are changing the way we do business. With this change, future Scouts in the Mid-America Council will be able to enjoy the Scouting opportunities we offer to over 15,000 youth throughout the council today.

To close part of the gap, a program support fee of $60.00 for each youth member and $14.00 for each registered adult will be implemented beginning in the 2021 recharter period. This fee is in addition to the annual registration fee. Please see the following FAQs for details.

2021 Membership Fees Overview

Youth Members Youth Members Adult Leaders & Fee Description (Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, (Exploring) Venturing, Sea Scouts) Registered Volunteers National BSA Registration Fee (Program Support, IT $60 $36 $36 Resources, and Insurance Coverage Provided by National BSA) Local Program Support Fee (Mid-America Council $60 $14 $14 Programs and Support, Including the Council Insurance Fee) Total $120 $50 $50

133603 BoyScouts IYOS 2020.indd 6 2/17/20 2:31 PM 2021 program support fee

The 2020 Popcorn commission is increasing from an average of 35% to a flat 50% • 2020 popcorn commission will be 50% on all sales including online. • All units will participate in the Trails End reward program. • The additional commission should help you enhance unit incentives.

2021 Program Support Fee To ensure that no Scout will be denied our program due to inability to pay, we have incorporated mechanisms for members to cover this charge either with payment at the time of recharter or through product sales.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1. What will be the total cost per registered youth member? A . The total cost at the time of 2021 recharter: National: $60.00 Program Support Fee: $60.00 TOTAL: $120.00 (+$12 optional Boy’s Life subscription)

Q2. What will be the total cost per registered adult member? A . The total cost at the time of 2021 recharter: National: $36.00 Program Support Fee: $14.00 TOTAL: $50.00

Q3 . Why is this additional Program Support Fee necessary? A. It costs over $300 to keep one Scout in our program for a year. Unit dues and national registration do not support this cost. Units that sell popcorn and earn a 50% commission will come out ahead this way in the long run. Example demonstrates exact same sale with the exact same amount of youth:

133603 BoyScouts IYOS 2020.indd 7 2/17/20 2:31 PM 2021 program support fee

Q4. Is this so the Council can make more money? No, the council is not making more money. The increase in popcorn commission and creation of the Program Support Fee is designed to be revenue neutral for the council. The overall financial impact evens out contributions for all registered members. A universal support fee will allow units to keep a higher percentage of commission off product sales. These dollars translate back to a stronger program at the unit level. We are encouraging all units to be very transparent on what it costs when new families join Scouting. Q5. How will the Program Support Fee be used? A. Our camping properties are supported as well as training and program support. The additional fees will keep camp weekend usage fees down, include council insurance fee, assist in keeping the summer camp fee comparable with other council(s) camps and return more commission back to youth and units for selling popcorn.

Q6. How will the Program Support Fee be collected? A. The program support fee will be collected at the time of recharter for 2021. It will be included in the member registration fees. A worksheet will be included in your recharter packet.

Q7. What about families in need? An additional $60 is a lot to ask. A. If a family truly cannot afford $60, the Pack, Troop, Crew or Ship can: I. Opt to pay the dues on the family’s behalf. II.Participate in council product sales or unit money earning projects to help raise the dues. III. Any family unable to pay the increased national registration fee and/or program support fee may apply for financial assistance at www.mac-bsa.org/scouting-tools/financialassistance/. No scout will be denied our program due to inability to pay.

Q8. Are we the only council with a Program Support Fee? A. Currently more than 60 councils nationwide are instituting or have already instituted a similar Program Support Fee with more nearby councils moving towards this fee in the next 12-18 months.

*Check with your unit to see how popcorn sales, camp cards, etc can lower your dues

133603 BoyScouts IYOS 2020.indd 8 2/17/20 2:31 PM funding your program The council has two board approved fundraisers: popcorn and camp cards. All other unit fundraisers must submit a unit money-earning application to the Mid-America Council (see page 11).

2020 base popcorn commission will be 50% of all sales including online. 2020 Popcorn Campaign is September 26 through November 1. All units will participate in the Trail's End reward program. The additional commission should help you enhance unit incentives.

Camp card program is March Roundtable through the end of April. Each unit will earn 50% commission for each card sold: $2.50 for each card. In addition, Scouts who sell the specified amounts can attend camp for free.

5 Steps For A Successful Popcorn Campaign 1. Establish an annual plan and budget using the Ideal of Scouting worksheet online (samples on pages 14-21). With input from your Scouts, parents, and leaders you can use this guide to write your budget.

2. Set a unit popcorn sale goal and break it down to a per-Scout-goal based on your IYOS budget.

3. Put together an exciting incentive program for your unit along with the prize program. For example, sell $100.00 and throw a pie in your leader’s face or hold a pizza party for the highest selling den or patrol!

4. Conduct a FUN unit popcorn kick-off to communicate the goals to families.

5. Utilize all sales methods available to make sure your unit and Scouts hit their goals. • Take orders • Show & sell the products • Online sales • Parents selling at work help their Scouts hit their goal • Store front sales: talk to your local businesses to see if you can sell there Camp Cards Go to camp for FREE! The Mid-America Council is offering a fundraising opportunity to help pay for camp!

Each unit will earn 50% commission for each card sold: $2.50 for each card. In addition, Scouts who sell the specified amounts can attend camp for free.

The campaign runs from March roundtable through April 30th. All unsold cards, forms and payments must be turned in by May roundtable and units must abide by the return policy. Camp incentives have no cash value; they may not be transferred to another Scout or camp. Camp incentives can only be used for Mid-America Council.

133603 BoyScouts IYOS 2020.indd 21 2/17/20 2:31 PM CUB SCOUTING GRADES K-5 Cub Scouting is fun for the whole family. In Scouting, boys and girls start with their best right now selves and grow into their very best future selves. It's fun, hands-on learning and achievement that puts kids in the middle of the action and prepares them for today- and for life.

SCOUTS BSA 11-l?YEARSOLD This is the traditional Scouting experience for youth in the fifth grade through high school. Service, community engagement, and leadership development become increasingly important parts of the program as youth lead their own activities and work their way toward earning Scouting's highest rank, Eagle Scout.

VENTURING 14-20 YEARS OLD You love exploring your passions, making new friends, and discovering the world. You're always looking foran adventure. Rappelling a cliff. Perfecting your shot. Designing a robot. Kayaking into the sunset. Exploring your faith. Volunteering at an animal shelter. The choice is yours! Each activity provides an opportunity to shine and learn more about yourself and the world around you. Venturing is youth-led and youth-inspired. You'll acquire life skills and gain experiences that will prove to be valuable regardless of where your future takes you, all while having a blast: leadership, event-planning, organization, communication, responsibility - the list goes on!

SEA SCOUTING 14-20 YEARS OLD Sea Scouts is a specialized program, organized to address a youth members' boating skills and promote knowledge of our maritime heritage. Sea Scout units, called "ships;' focus on sailing and cruising either sailboats, power vessels or paddle sports. During the boating season, Sea Scouts learn to maintain and operate vessels, with a focus on learning the safe and proper methods of handling boats. Sea Scouts also learn the meaning of buoys and lights, how to take advantage of wind dan tide, and how to drop anchor or approach a dock.

EXPLORING 14- 20 YEARS OLD Exploring provides exciting activities and one-on-one mentorship for youth looking to discover their future. Whether you're a local organization looking to strengthen the community or a young person wanting to uncover the possibilities of your future, Exploring is a great place to start.

Last year, we branded our Scout Me In campaign! This year, thousands of those girls and countless others who are not yet involved in our life-changing program will join Scouts BSA as we invite girls and young women into Scouting's most iconic program. Scout Me In is more than just a tagline. It reinforces that the mission and core values noted in the Scout Oath and Law are important, relevant and aspirational to all youth. For them, Scout Me In is a call to action. It's an invitation to take part in the fun and adventure that will help them forge a path to their own best self - today and in the future. As always, these young people depend on amazing volunteers to deliver Scouting's promise. Thank you for fulfilling that promise in your community and for working to expand Scouting's impact as we welcome girls and young women into Scouts BSA. We ask that you continue to invite families to join Scouts BSA and encourage your friends and neighbors to volunteer so more youth can benefit from this incredible program. Whether it's through a freindly conversation, or a post on your social channels, your efforts can make a difference. Thank you again for all you do to support Scouting.

133603 BoyScouts IYOS 2020.indd 24 2/17/20 2:31 PM Planning a Cub Scout Outdoor Activity: Cub Scout events should be fun, family-oriented, and safe. When planning an outdoor activity, leaders should be mindful of Youth Protection standards, and review the BSA Guide to Safe Scouting as they prepare the event. Here are some other tips: Program • Obtain written permission (informed consent agreement—see the Cub Scout Leader Book for this form) from parents or guardians for activities that are held away from the regular den and pack meeting places. • Plan ahead to have sufficient adult supervision for the activity and in the event of an emergency. • Check out the site before the activity. Check on reservation procedures, restroom facilities, availability of adequate drinking water, and any potential hazards. • Use the buddy system. Coach the Scouts in advance on what to do if they get lost. • Carry a first-aid kit and know how to use it. Be prepared with emergency procedures written for each activity site or location. • Always leave a site in its natural condition.

For additional information on specific activities not covered in this document, refer to Age-Appropriate Guidelines for Scouting Activities, included in the Guide to Safe Scouting and online at http://www.scouting.org.

133603 BoyScouts IYOS 2020.indd 25 2/17/20 2:31 PM Three Tiers of Adventure:

Venturing’s three levels of adventure are designed to challenge and engage crew members to experience adventure. Each level provides crew members with opportunity for leadership, personal growth, and skill development. While Tier I activities are fairly basic, they provide preparation for the greater challenges and opportunities involved in Tier II and Tier III activities. A well-balanced crew activity program will include activities and adventures in all Tiers.

Differentiating Tier II from Tier III

The fundamental difference is in the level of preparation, planning, and gathering resources to carry out the adventure. Generally, a Tier II adventure lasts from two to four days duration and a Tier III adventure lasts for four days or more. When an event of fewer than four days is considered a Tier III adventure, it should reflect these criteria:

• The planning needed to carry out a shorter event is comparable to that of a longer event • The preperation needed to implement the activity is similar to the preparation needed to implement a longer event • The opportunity to challenge the activity chair and the members of the crew is similar as to what would take place during an activity of longer duration.

While the planning tool on the previous page can be used by Venturing crews, a Venturing-specific activity planning guide and other resources, including more detailed guidelines for co-ed activities, are available at http://www.Venturing.org in the “Crew Resources” section.

Scouts BSA Outdoor Awards: National Outdoor Awards for Camping, Hiking, Aquatics, Riding, and Adventure

Now when a Scout excels in outdoor participation, there are new awards to show for it! This program, conceived by the National Camping Task Force of the BSA®, includes a series of five badges designed to recognize a Scouts BSA or Varsity Scout who has exemplary knowledge and experience in performing high-level outdoor activities.

The award consists of five emblem segments positioned around the perimeter of a beautiful center emblem. All are embroidered in full color. The segments represent five areas of emphasis: Riding, Hiking, Camping, Aquatics, and Adventure, with rigorous requirements to earn each segment. The center emblem features an outdoor scene with fleur-de-lis and the words "National Outdoor Awards."

Scouts BSA Resident Camp: Camp Cedars Camp Cedars is home to our premiere Scouts BSA Resident Camp, which consists of 5 weeks of camp with a large variety of more than 50 merit badges and specialty programs.

The Mid-America Council is dedicated to providing our youth with unparalleled experiences, especially in the outdoors. The BSA operates four premiere high adventure bases: Philmont Scout Ranch, Florida Sea Program Base, Northern Tier, and the Summit Bechtel Reserve. Throughout the four bases, there is a program opportunity available for every youth!

We are dedicated to ensuring that every youth has an opportunity to attend a BSA high adventure base. Some are provided through a “contingent” experience, which means that the trip is organized through a committee of volunteers in the Mid-America Council and may contain Scouts and adults from all over the council.

Registrations for 2021 are already open, 2022 contingents will open June 2020, and 2023 contingents will open June 2021. Most high adventure planning occurs 2 years prior to the trek. For more information, or to register, visit www.mac-bsa.org/HighAdventure.

OA members can register individually as they will join other Arrowmen from all across the nation. More information and registration is online at adventure.oa-bsa.org.

133603 BoyScouts IYOS 2020.indd 29 2/17/20 2:31 PM Service Projects Scouting for Food Scouting for Food is an annual council-wide service project aimed at addressing the issue of hunger in our communities. Through a partnership with Tyson, Hy-Vee, the Food Bank of Siouxland, and the Food Bank for the Heartland, Scouts collected more than 289,400 food items for the 2019 year. The dates in 2020 are April 18 and 25. The dates for 2021 will be April 10 and 17.

Sticky notes will be available at your March roundtable. We encourage each Scout to collect at least 25 items of food.

Where do we take the food once it’s collected? Packs, troops and crews in the Omaha area can take their food to their local Hy-Vee for collection. Siouxland packs, troops and crews can take their food items to the Food Bank of Siouxland. In other areas, please check with your Scouting for Food chair for local food pantry or church partners.

The unit tool kit can be found here: www.mac-bsa.org/ScoutingForFood. Adopt-a-School Program The Boy Scouts of America Adopt-a-School program is a way for youth to give back to their elementary schools. Each quarter, the youth and their leaders conduct a service project benefiting their school. These projects are based on the needs of the school, which may consist of grounds beautification, building improvements, teacher appreciation, clean-up before or after school events, and help during festivals/ carnivals.

Other Ideas for Service Projects Remember to check with your unit’s chartered organization to see if they have any projects. • Place American flags on gravesites for Memorial Day • Assist agencies that provide food to those in need • Participate in caroling at a nursing home • Adopt-a-park • Send cards to servicemen and spouse • Plant trees

Scout Saturday, January 9th

Other Resources The values of Scouting make it clear that bullying cannot be tolerated. Scouting leaders have a unique opportunity to teach respect and acceptance of others. This training focuses on enabling adult leaders and parents to increase their awareness of the incidence and effects of bullying, to create an anti-bullying culture in their Scouting units, and to empower Scouts to assist those targeted by bullies wherever it occurs. Strategies for supporting the victims of bullying and for helping Scouts who bully others develop more appropriate social skills are presented as well.

It Happened to Me (video) It Happened to Me is a video presentation produced by the Boy Scouts of America for viewing by Cub Scouts and their parents. The situations of possible peril presented in the video are intended to be ambiguous, allowing parents to be as specific as they wish in discussing personal safety rules with their children. The intent of the video is to develop communication between parent and child about personal safety decisions made by the child—but with help from parents or other trusted adults.

A Time To Tell (video) With introductions and “reality checks” by teens for teens, A Time to Tell presents a variety of situations that young people may encounter. These scenes stress the importance of the three R’s of Youth Protection: Recognize strategies and situations used by child molesters to isolate an adolescent that can lead to attempted molestation; Resist attempts of child molesters; and Report individuals who attempt to molest or who have molested in the past.
